REVIEW | United Express | Houston (IAH) - Phoenix (PHX) | Mitsubishi CRJ-900 | Economy

Описание: Welcome to another exhilarating flight experience! Today, we're saying farewell to the bustling city of Houston, Texas, as we continue our journey to the sunny city of Phoenix, Arizona. After an unexpected overnight stop here in Houston, courtesy of United Airlines, we're ready to take off.

Join me as we navigate through the less-than-modern Terminal B of Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Despite the terminal's dated appearance and slightly confusing layout, the TSA Precheck allows us to glide through security swiftly and hassle-free.

Our aircraft today, operating under the United Express brand by Mesa Airlines, is the Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR, an interesting aircraft with a history serving multiple airlines. Let's dive into its details, and I'll also share why I'm looking forward to flying on this new addition to the United Fleet.

Onboard, we'll take a detailed tour of the seat and in-flight amenities, with special attention to the extra legroom offered by our Economy Plus seat, 7F. With 76 seats, including 9 Business Class and 67 Economy Class, the cabin offers a standard 2-2 configuration that's typical of regional jets.

As we approach Phoenix, we'll have a brief review of the complimentary drink service and snack offering - an Apple Juice and a Chocolate Quinoa Crisp on this flight. We'll also look at the Hemispheres Magazine, the inflight literature that United offers its passengers.

Prepare for stunning aerial views over the Southwest Region of the United States, in-depth seat analysis, and a transparent review of what flying on a United Express-operated flight is like.
